The content of the report is divided in eleven sections with each section being entitled with the name of the corresponding university institute or agency. The contribution of each institute is reported based on the material they provided along with the respective list of literature. An attempt was made to slightly homogenize the material provided by the respective contributors. Therefore, the text and, in general, the style of each sub-report, have been maintained in the subsequent sections. I take the opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all colleagues working at University Departments, Research Institutions and National Agencies for their contributions, extensive lists of publications and other relevant material provided for the compilation of this report.
